So based on this timeline is safe to assume that the events of OIALT happen almost 20 years before Eternum?

Based on how many kids the OIAL MC could have had with all 7 LIs, wherever they are it's probably a whole village inhabited only by them XD.
I want to somehow believe that they moved to America under the request of Pres. Stabb, and after that the man signed a law that legalized polygamous marriage as a gesture of goodwill to the OIAL MC, and that we'll learn of that law sometime in the future when the harem starts talking about the legalities of their current predicament.

(Look, I know it's a pipe dream...but a man can dream, alright?! DX)

The more important implication is of course that children of this harem are potentially old enough to be characters in Eternum...
That would not be in violation of Cari's earlier statement imo. Not a direct cameo of any kind. I don't know either Dorfnutter's brain is contagious or there might be something more to Eva even without the Syndicate stuff. We are seeing quite a bunch of her, more than Maat that's for sure.

One thing that I had on my mind, now that timeline was created in Discord would be IG's existence in 2034/2035 (which is surprising, at least to me tbh), since some news reports irl were a bit premature in giving that platform a death date.

I guess that's the drawback of using IRL companies's/plateform's name on your game, you don't know what'll happen in the future and you don't know if it will still exist or not once you finish the game. I'm sure by the end of Eternum that won't be the only change Caribdis will have to do on IRL ref (be it IG or another one ):unsure:

Cari: "Well that didn't age well...I know! Let's change the quiz questions to another batch of pop culture references that are not going to age well! Yeah, it's not like Twitter will ever be in danger of going the way of Friendster or MySpace, or that Elon Musk will get upstaged again in the year when Eternum takes place! No siree!"

(Okay, okay, that's enough sarcasm from me I suppose)
You're in a pungent mood because this is about a quiz, no? :LOL:

Could work, but I don't recall what the surname of OIAL's protagonist was, so there's that.

Also Eva likely isn't a product of the OIAL crew as she looks just about the same age as Orion (if older then likely just as old as Nova or Penny). And he and the harem were already kids around the time of OIAL so...no dice there.

...Unless she's younger than she looks. But...that just means...

...ah fuck.

In one of Heinlein's books the MC graduates school on Earth and is packing to return home to Mars or Venus and makes a mental note to be sure and bring his sliderule. :)

Wait so Cari doesn't want a direct cameo from OIALT in Eternum???
Bummer...

if only we could meet a character inside Eternum we've never seen, only for it to say something along the lines of:

"Have you ever heard of the Sons of Astaroth?"

then Orion goes: "Weren't they some kind of cult that was supposedly around some years ago?"

and the character goes: "Yes they were actually real and did try to take over the world but my father managed to defeat them, then he had to disappear for some time. Took his 7 women with him and all"

Orion: "Wow that's pretty damn amaz... wait a second, did you say he has 7 women?"

Character: "Yep, 7 women, i kinda have 7 mothers and so many siblings i can't even count!"

Orion: "YOU HAVE 7 MOTHERS???"

Theen before he can go in more detail, Calypso randomly teleports Orion away to unknown places.


Now thats just my idea for a cameo.

And in Dorfnutter's wise words: (Look, I know it's a pipe dream...but a man can dream, alright?! DX)

Why is she holding a cheap-ass dollar store pan instead of a proper cast iron pan? I mean that thing has no heft, no mass, no impact potential. I bet it even has non-stick coating, but that takes decades to cause harm to someone.

Sorry, it's my fault when I made that image I just used the first stock image with a pan I found on internet I didn't search for a more accurate material, I was too enthusiast for founding a model that was the living embodiment of our Red Goddess and wasn't too focused on all the details.
The next picture will be more accurate, I promise. :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

My theory? She's a daughter of OIALT MC and Aiko.
Orion: Look, officers, I swear I didn't know she was 13-14 years old! If you want to arrest someone, arrest her former employer-

/'Nam flashbacks on every single fucking quiz section in OIAL

...yes.

Theyre rebranding as ILLGAMES, and have already announced a new game, Honeycomb. Idk how much legal copyright they'd have over Illusion Soft IPs, but the studio isnt dead yet.

I don't think so I mean it's a Wild West Server and we know a "star" is most likely a symbol of a Sheriffs so I think Dalia doesn't have any secret agendas with the Syndicate.

War? This is some kind of joke. I laughed. But from cringe. Like, wtf, Wagner??? Dude, why? Though nowadays I am joking that Caribdis predicted the death of the head of Wagner...
The name "Wagner" is in reference to one of his highest patreon(who has very good taste as you can see) :

So that's why Colonel Wagner had an "interesting" fixation with cat girls, as mentioned by the Hunstman back at the bunker. It's in the user name for everyone to see. Good to know, I suppose. :whistle:
